FORFEITED LANDS.

There were three bills relating to for
feited lands Oh the Calendar Two Of
these were left over from the last session.
One of them, known as the Murray
bill, proposed to remedy the trouble by
bringing suit in the Courts of Common
Pleas against delinquent taxpayers. re-
covering Judgment and issuing execu-
ton thereon. The Patterson bill, which
was passed by the Senate recently, au-
thorizes the issuing by the sheriff Of dis
tress warrants (Sithout suit at law
sgainst the personal and real property Of
delinquent taxpayers. The third bill
was not considered.
4 motion was carried to take up the
Murray bill first, and Mr.. Burke, Of
Charleston, fred the first gun with 9
motion to strike out the enacting words.
Then followed 6ve-minute speeches by
Messrs. Parker, Of Abbeville, Simpson,
of Spsrtanburg, and Haskell, of Rich
land, in favor of the Patterson bill. Mr.
Pope, of SeTberry, holding up the Alur-
ray bin end of the debate.
Finally Mr.. BrawleT called tie atten-
ton Of the House to The necessity OF de-
Gliding which plan it preferred-the
Murray or the Patterson, and in order TO
get at sense OF the House, moved to
indefinitely postpone the bill under con-
siderat;on-viz the Murray bill.
This motion was carried without a
division and then the Patterson bill was
taken up. There was no futher discus
SION. but Judge Maner got in number
Of amendments which it is thought will
perfect the scheme embodied in the bill.
Briefly stated the provisions o. the biz

expiration Of the time for paying take:
IN any year the county treasurer OF each
county is directed to issue In TIE name

There is also an account of another of Marga-
rets three unhappy love episodes the third
being left to the readers imagination. o. S.
Churchill two-ply widower, was the gay
deceiver in the second case He not
giddy firt, but was fascinating merely be-
cause he couldn't help it. In the course of
his search for number three he met Margaret
and won her affections, and would have mar
ried her had he not learned that another girl
whom he had unwittingly attracted was
pining away on his account. Being con-
scientious man, ne resolved TO sacrifice him
self and thereupon married the other girl 10

This brief summary is sufficient to show
that as mere work of fiction this book pos
sesses some striking features. It has, how
ever other claims to interest and attention.
Advices from Detroit indicate that it is not
fiction, that it is not only realistic, but real.
The author who is said to be Miss Cleveland,
a cousin of the President is recognized as
being herself the heroine of the story; Colonel
Winston is declared to be a well-known Mich
igan gentleman now holding an important
federal appointment Other characters are
recognized as actual personages under the
disguise of different names. Some incidents,
of course, are imaginative, as, for instance,
the denouement, but that is happy conceit
which serves the purpose of letting the Mich
igan man know the delightful fate in store
for him should his present wife be removed.
Should Providence neglect to carry out tie
programme by killing "Mrs. Winston" off
complications may arise. Margaret" will
probably be driven to the stump to "save her
reason" and if in the next campaign her
talent is exerted again in behalf of President
Cleveland the world will know that it is a
compliance with the resistless demands of
fate"
There may be those who feel that the
President should pray to be delivered from
his female relatives, but this is matter of
opinion. The literary proclivities of the
sisters and cousins may be affection to
him, but they are fun for the public. and the
public needs to be amused. The President,
being servant of the people, should not
venture to interfere with their enjoyments,
but should let his relatives write. There is,
indeed, some reason to believe that he can't
help himself.

DIR. WILLIAM A. HAMMOND delivered
lecture in New York few days ago on 1.-THE
Use and Abuse Of the Brain" The keynote
of his discourse was that worry was far more
exhausting than work, and that emotional
excitement is great tax on the nervous
power. ANXIETY causes more brain dis
ORDERS" he said, ethan any other agency I
know of, unless it be love-" Here he puts
worry and emotional excitement side by side
as prolific causes Of insanity. This scientific
opinion is corroborated by facts and common
observation. No doubt worry kills more men
than work does, and our asylums are full of
the victims of worry and love. These two
are also the source and cause of many crimes
Dr. Hammond said: Every few people suffer
from intellectual work, and if my memory
serves me do not recollect ever having a
mathematician for a patient. It is not intel
lectual work that causes nervous dyspepsia,
but the emotions, such as anxiety, fear, sor-
row and love. / consider that eight hours are
sufficient for man to use his brain, because
if he exceeds that time he becomes nervous
and fretful, and an exhausted brain is an ir-
ritable brain. You may not feel the evil eff
fects Of the stress of brain work at the time,
but you will sooner or later, when it will be

TYPHOID fever seems to be unusually prev
alent this fall. There is good deal of it in
this city, though not nearly much as in
some other localities, where it has assumed
almost epidemic proportions. That which
prevails here and hereabout is OF mild
type, still it is typhoid fever, and even mild
type of that is serious. In the localities
where it prevails physicians generally attrib-
ute it to the long-continued drought affect
ing the water supply and resort to impure
water. In SOME cities and towns the physi-
clans and health officers have advised that all
water be boiled before drinking, as boiling
destroys the fever germ. In no other way is
typhoid fever more frequently and fatally
communicated than in impure water As to
the origin of the fever it is now definitely
known to be caused by a special micro-organ-
ism, germ, bacillus, a minute, rod-shaped
vegetable growth, which multipies in
myrads in the body to produce the symptoms
of the disease. The germ theory of typhoid
fever is comparatively recent, but is now uni
yersally accepted. The germs or bacili are

described as rpnnite rods. about one-third as
long as blood 'corpuscle is broad; a blood cor
puscle is 1880 inch in diameter. and about
one-third as broad long, with rounded ends
and vacant spades at the ends. The bacilli
reproduce or perpetuate themselves by spores
or seed, which in turn form new bacilli The
latter have the power of quite active motion,
and seen in mass or extended in lines show
under the microscope serpentine fluctuations
which are quite characteristic. They possess
great tenacity of life and find their way into
the human body through impure water,
impure milk, infected clothing and sometimes
through impure air being breathed and
swallowed. They do not reach the body
through the lungs. Heat destroys the germs.
The only way to kill them in water or milk is
to boil it, and the only way to destroy them
in the clothing or the excretions of fever
patients is to burn them. Everything that
comes from typhoid fever room should be
burned. Freezingdoes not kill the germ. Many
of the wells in this city not yet dry are more
or less impregnated with surface impurities.
and are constantly becoming more impure.
Unless care is used to guard against this
source of disease typhoid fever may be ex-
pected to increase. In every case where there
is reason to believe water is impure it should
be boiled before drinking.

children are clothed and provided with some
